The Data Logger

Alti 2 is a small device, which can be fitted into almost any model and will store a record of the model’s altitude.  When you get home, the Alti is connected to your PC and the data downloaded via the supplied software - you can then analyse your model’s flights and performance. For example, if you are flying a glider and want to optimise the model’s climb rate, the Alti will do this for you and allow you to choose the best prop for the job. Alti is powered by the receiver battery and could be connected to a spare channel, which then enables flight markers to be entered into the data record in order to make later analysis easier.  Sample rate of the unit is adjustable from one sample every 01./sec to one every 6 seconds.
